Ticket Programs

In 2012, the Orioles debuted the Birdland Passport
program, a system to reward fans who visit Oriole Park
as well as the Orioles' local minor league affiliates: the
Norfolk Tides, Bowie Baysox, Frederick Keys, Delmarva
Shorebirds, and Aberdeen Ironbirds. Fans received a free
Passport at any of the parks they
had attended games at five of
the six venues, fans received
a free Birdland Roadtrip
t-shirt. Fans who attended
games at all six ballparks
were also entered into a
drawing to receive a trip
for two to 2013 Orioles
Spring Training in Sarasota.

The OriolesREACH High Five Fundraising Program continues
to help local non-profit groups, civic organizations, school
and youth groups raise money for their efforts. In fact, since
its inception in 2005, the High Five Program has helped to
raise well over $1.4 million for the causes.

The Junior Orioles Dugout Club continues to offer
an affordable way for kids and their families
to enjoy Orioles Baseball and receive
exclusive rewards. The club serves as a
"mini plan for mini fans" age 14 and
under, in which kids receive tickets
to 10 specially selected games, a
hat, membership card, backpack and
more for only $20. Kids also receive
exclusive giveaway items at every
Dugout Club game. Family members
and friends can also purchase tickets
to Dugout Club games for just $6,
with the opportunity to upgrade to
lower level seats for $15.
For each membership the Oriole Advocates
sold at Camden Yards, $5 was donated by the
Orioles to the Oriole Advocate Challenger League
Program. In 2012, more than $4,500 was raised.

Through the MLB Commissioners Community Initiative and
Players Give Back Ticket Program, the Orioles also provided
more than 80,000 complimentary tickets to local nonprofit,
volunteer and service organizations during the 2012
season.

Each season, the Orioles and OriolesREACH
invite more than 12,000 children from
disadvantaged areas in the region to
experience the magic of Orioles Baseball
as part of the OriolesREACH Gameday
Experience Program. By partnering
with various local non-profit and
youth groups, OriolesREACH is able
to provide children with free game
tickets, concessions vouchers, Orioles
t-shirts, caps and transportation to
and from the game. In 2012, several
Orioles players took part in the program,
including Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, J.J.
Hardy, Wei-Yin Chen Tommy Hunter, Jake
Arrieta and Brian Matusz. More than 70,000
children have participated since the program's inception.
Much like the longstanding program at Oriole Park at
Camden Yards, the Orioles also continue to donate game
tickets and concessions to underprivileged children in the
Hampton Roads area with the Harbor Park OriolesREACH
Gameday Experience Program. Since 2007, thousands of
children have received free tickets to see the Norfolk Tides,
the Orioles' AAA Minor League affiliate, and experience the
thrill of professional baseball.
